Specters Bite

by Amare

a poem i wrote, cause i wanted to. It's about the effects of the 'Specters Bite' or when the Specters attack you....Fully spellchecked. Please read and review. It isn't in anyone's perspective that we know.

Disclaimer: The Specters are Philip Pullmans, the words mine...get it? too bad.

Authors Note: I had an odd urge to write a poem about the Specters...and what happens when they 'get you.' I'm suprised this turned out so...I dunno good? weird? dark? I dunno, just read and review, rinse and repeat...read and review, rinse and repeat...lol...

Specters Bite

I feel it,

My soul is slipping away,

Falling into darkness,

Like so many countless others before me,

My life source is ripped away,

Soon my body will become the living dead,

My lips will never speak again,

When the Specters have done their work,

My life ebbs out before me,

I see glimmering silver strands billowing from my chest,

Cold hands wrench out my heart,

I scream,

But my cries go unheard,

They have cornered me,

To do their evil biddings,

I frantically count the stones in front of me,

My eyes fall into darkness,

Forever to roam unseeing,

Just trying to stay alive,

Is the hard work at hand,

Pain bristling through my weak body,

All my words will go unsaid,

All my thoughts forgotten,

They will all slip away,

On an unseen breeze,

I look down at my body,

Just one last time,

Transparent tears glide down my ghostly cheeks,

Soon,

I will be forgotten,

Just another person,

Just a gust of wind sailing in the breeze,

I have fallen victim to the Specters Bite.
